Entrepreneur says faith and forgiveness saved her life CONCHITA, FROM1B Nefertiti’s Secrets is now available in two local beauty supply stores, online at www.nefertitisecrets.com and was recently picked up by a New York distribution company through what Pleasant called a “faithwalk.” After reachingout to the company and providing samples, she prayed about her next step and then took action. “Instead of waiting for them to call me back, I made an appointment and flew there,” she explained. Pleasant’s advice to other women, whether they have been diagnosed with cancer or not, is to cultivate your spirituality, surround yourselfwith positive people, release unhealthy relationships by “removing people who cause stress in your life,” and, she added,“know your worth.” She said releasing negativity from your life also involves your approach to adversity.As it relates to the crooked chemist, Pleasant’s initial reaction to his dishonesty was to “curse him out.” Uncomfortable with that feeling, she decided to go on a weekend fast, something she had not done before. “By Monday, I was a whole different person. The spirit had calmed me down,” and guided her to approach the man “with love.” It paid off, literally. “That man cut me a check that day,” she said.
